Public bug reported:

The shared-color-targets package isn't available in Ubuntu, so when
GNOME Color Manager attempts to install it to make profiling cameras and
scanners possible, the process simply fails.

Explanation: to profile a camera or a scanner you need a capture of a
reflective calibration target which is, essentially, a cardboard with
color patches printed on it. For each type of a target you need a text
file that describes this target so that calibration/profiling software
knows what and where to look for when reading the captured image. The
shared-color-targets is a collection of such files.

Solution: provide shared-color-targets package, available at
http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/releases/. You don't have to
make it a hard dependency, but installing it should work.
